Oh STFU. Quit taking one little thing, completely misreading it and blowing it into something it's not. Show me where I'm defending him. All I said was it's normal for Walters (not every GM), this is his track record and has been for a while. That's not being an apologist or being critical as I didn't give an opinion one way or another on his approach. FWIW, I would prefer if he was more visible and I'm definitely not satisfied with the work that was put in this year (from him or MOS).

Yup. Heard a bunch from Hervey and Burke this season.

I find Ferguson to be one of the most useless people in CFL media (and that says a lot). His work is often just terrible, uninformed takes that aren't worth reading.

Not really telling at all for Walters. He's usually gone from public view between the draft and GC. Do a Google search and you'll really only get things from April or May then nothing until November.

Yeah Abby is from a different era and not my thing but he was huge in his day. I'm not sure I would say shady but definitely careless and/or ignorant. Considering the amount of hardcore matches he has done, probably didn't think spreading disease was possible. Other than Hannibal, did anyone else ever contract something from him? Not that it matters - one person is too many so that's on him for not taking proper precautions and it's why he lost the court case about it.

If you have military experience, MOS would like a word... I would do it but I'm still exploring NFL opportunities.

That's because it's fairly last minute. The same flight 3 weeks ago was under $600 (same as if you are looking to go a month from now). Also doesn't help that the only option from there seems to be Air Canada so they can charge whatever without worrying about competition.

Pretty sure he was already mentally broken. 🤷

Not signed, just added to our neg list.

Maybe Campbell was a backup plan but they could have done that without extending Dyce months later. He was hired in January and then Dyce got extended in April. Poor cap management amongst many other issues with that team.

I'm guessing he's doing just fine where he is (even if the team isn't). https://goheels.com/staff-directory/chris-jones/3812

Yep, other teams have given reps to their 3rd string guys either by choice (like Sask last week with Coan) or by circumstance (Toronto & Doege). It would be nice to know what Wilson can do at some point.

Sask rolling with more of their A team this week. Not surprising that they don't want them to sit for nearly a month, BC is going to have to work for it if they want that home playoff game. Saskatchewan Roughriders to start QB Trevor Harris, sit K Brett Lauther for finale - 3DownNation

I don't hate this (as painful as it will be to watch most likely). We're going to be showing Montreal very little and giving some key guys a rest. I hope they give Smith & Shay a lot of reps, even if they aren't starting (same with Terry Wilson).

It's official - tomorrow is a pre-season game. MONTREAL-at-WINNIPEG_OCT-25.pdf No Willie, Kramdi, ZC, BO, Vaval, Big Stan, Ontaria or Vaughters.

I agree with that as well. I'd feel much more confident in this regime if they showed any kind of willingness to change/adapt but we haven't really seen that yet. Whether they stay or go, some things need to change.

This isn't new though. What many people have been complaining about (not going to rehash the same old arguments) has been happening for a couple seasons. This is just the first time the team hasn't been able to overcome the obvious problems and now more people have come around to the idea that maybe it's time for a change. These guys are Bomber legends and I don't think anyone will dispute that but all good things come to an end at some point.

Alexander expects to play the whole game. I guess they don't really need to worry about him getting hurt if we don't touch him. https://3downnation.com/2025/10/23/he-isnt-a-five-year-vet-montreal-alouettes-to-play-qb-davis-alexander-in-finale-regardless-of-playoff-implications/

That's a bit of a stretch. Hamilton at no point says they are interested in him - only that he (Hamilton) would want him, if he was running the show out there. His exact words:

So a couple feel good points but nothing substantial - got it. For you in BC, getting to Montreal or Hamilton might be more of an issue but not for people in Winnipeg. Besides, a handful of Bomber fans in attendance does what for the club? I can't see a huge turnout in any city with the way this team has played this season. Regina might be the only exception to that due to location though. MOS will tell you (as any HC would) that the team will always be playing to win, regardless of who is on the field so I don't think they earn any extra respect there. I'd respect him more for giving back-ups some playing time rather than risking injury to key players in a fairly meaningless game. For me, the upside to 4th is being as healthy as possible and facing either a QB getting his first taste of playoff action or a team we just thrashed a few weeks earlier. We may also get a slightly higher draft pick if nothing else (barring a miracle GC run).

Woods was a full participant today.

He was on pace for a career year but the last few weeks derailed that (0 yards against Ottawa in week 16 and then only 5 against Edmonton in week 19). Had he stayed healthy and put up some good numbers the last couple weeks (questionable with this offense) he might have been in the conversation but yeah not the MOP for me.
